After 4 months of using @robertskmiles method (slightly altered for personal preference) I can confirm that this is a HIGHLY effective method for staying focused on what you SHOULD be doing, and not turning into a zombie, scrolling all day: https://t.co/ycjYTDO8LB

Google has replaced the Fitbit app with the Health app - in the process, removing a key metric I use to manage my GERD symptoms: "Estimated Oxygen Variation (EOV)". The replacement (SpO2) is inadequate. Please bring this data back! @googlehealth @Fitbit @Google

the greatest whitepill of all is that local minima are rare in high dimensional spaces

[Dwarkesh Patel @dwarkesh_sp]

We pre-train LLMs on the whole of the internet. You might think this explains how they learn so many emergent capabilities: the knowledge is implicit in the training data.

But in fact models can do things that were never demonstrated anywhere in training!

@svlevine argues that the real source of emergent capabilities is compositionality:

I've somehow used up an entire week's worth of usage on both Codex and Claude in 2 days!? Guess I'm experimenting with local models this week.

[Elliot Walmsley @ElliotWalmsley]

I could use a Codex usage reset right about now...

[Sam Altman @sama]

To celebrate 3 million weekly codex users, we are resetting usage limits.

We will do this every million users up to 10 million.

Happy building!

@godofprompt It's odd that the artifacts in the latest model look very similar to this sort of pattern...

Sonnet fast mode pls! @AnthropicAI

[Claude @claudeai]

Effective today, we are:

1) Doubling Claude Code’s 5-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, and Team plans;

2) Removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans; and

3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models.

[Claude @claudeai]

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.

This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
